Disclaimer

No skin cancer surveilance program can claim to be 100% accurate. It is therefore important to continue seeing your doctor or specialist for regular skin checks especially if you are at high risk of developing skin cancers. Regular self examination is extremely important.

A skin lesion/mole that is new, changing, growing, elevated, hard, bleeds easily, not healing in 6-8 week should be evaluated even if you have had an annual or recent assessment.

If you wish to review or return within a year a reduced fee applies.
